Meaning and history
Rachyl is a modern English spelling variant of Rachel. Rachel comes from Hebrew Raḥel, meaning “ewe,” an adult female sheep. In Genesis, Rachel is the wife whom Jacob loves and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, giving the name lasting Jewish and Christian significance. The substitution of y for e is a contemporary stylistic change and does not create a different origin or meaning. Reliable prominent real-life bearers using exactly the spelling Rachyl are limited.
In 2008, 5 babies were recorded with the name Rachyl, ranking #17,504 among girls.
